Love how simple and delish this dish is! It's been on repeat!

Easy Gochujang Sheet Pan Bulgogi is a delightful twist on the traditional Korean dish, perfect for busy weeknights. Bulgogi, which means 'fire meat' in Korean, is typically marinated beef grilled to perfection. This sheet pan version simplifies the process, allowing you to enjoy the rich, savory flavors with minimal fuss. It's a wonderful way to introduce your family to Korean cuisine, and the gochujang adds a lovely kick that's sure to warm you up on a chilly evening.

This dish pairs beautifully with a side of steamed rice or quinoa to soak up all the delicious juices. You can also serve it with a crisp cucumber salad or some lightly pickled vegetables to add a refreshing contrast. For a complete meal, consider adding a bowl of miso soup or a simple broth to sip alongside.

Servings: 4

1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 medium onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 green onions, chopped

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, mix together the gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic, and ginger to make the marinade.

Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Spread the marinated beef, onion, and red bell pepper evenly on a sheet pan.

Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

For a milder version, reduce the amount of gochujang or substitute with a sweet chili sauce. If you have picky eaters, you can separate the vegetables and meat on the sheet pan, allowing family members to choose their favorites. For a vegetarian option, replace the beef with firm tofu or portobello mushrooms. Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or carrots to the mix for extra nutrition.
